From the author of the" New York Times "bestseller "Slumdog
Millionaire" comes a richly textured social thriller.
Seven years ago, Vivek "Vicky" Rai, the playboy son of the home
minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered bartender Ruby Gill at a trendy
restaurant in New Delhi, simply because she refused to serve him a
drink. Now Vicky Rai has been killed at the party he was throwing
to celebrate his acquittal. The police arrest six guests with guns
in their possession: a corrupt bureaucrat who claims to have become
Mahatma Gandhi; an American tourist infatuated with an Indian
actress; a Stone Age tribesman on a quest; a Bollywood sex symbol
with a guilty secret; a mobile-phone thief who dreams big; and an
ambitious politician prepared to stoop low.
Swarup unravels the lives and motives of the six suspects, offering
both a riveting page-turner and an insightful look into the heart
of contemporary India.
